A BGL file contains glossary data used by Babylon translation software. BGL files are generated using the Babylon Glossary Builder to create custom glossaries. Babylon has been discontinued. BGL files are also used by Microsoft Flight Simulator. These files contain scenery data for locations and airports. Small locations use one BGL file while complex locations use multiple. Included BGL files should not be modified but custom ones can be created. Custom files are saved in the simulator’s scenery folder or custom folders. Third party programs can create custom BGL files. A BGL file extension specifies encoding of information. File extensions can be proprietary or open.

Microsoft defined the Flight Simulator Scenery Format (BGL) file standard. BGL files store scenery information for Microsoft Flight Simulator. They include details on flight routes, airport locations, and visual environments. Simple sceneries may need one BGL file. More complex sceneries with many details use multiple BGL files. The FSX Planner software compiles custom BGL files. Users can develop custom virtual sceneries with it for Flight Simulator X. BGL files should not be tampered with since Flight Simulator uses them during gameplay. Custom files can be placed in the game directory.

A file extension like BGL specifies how information is encoded for storage on devices running Windows. The Flight Simulator X software supports the BGL format along with the FSX Planner tool. Before opening a BGL file, determine what kind of file it is and whether it can be viewed.
